Fakes

At the present time there are three major problems with fake fishing tackle. They are Moscrops Reels (which are genuine counterfeits), Heddon miscellaneous stuff, and Winchester items (which are fantasies). There are lots of problems with repainted fishing lures. If anyone want to send information about fake fishing lures, we will be happy to publish any verifiable information here. Just email old fishing stuff..

British tackle collector Stefan Duma has a fine page on fishing forgeries on his web site. You might want to read the Antique Tackle Observer page on Forgeries.
